Stains skin easily, so use protective garments or petroleum jelly to keep color off ears, brow ridge, etc. Also provides most vibrant results with about 30-40 minutes on your head, heat application a plus. Devlish, Candy Apple Red, and Cherry Bomb work very well.Ĭons: This brand is slightly harder to find an a little more expensive at $12-15 dollars a bottle. Slightly creamier formula than MP makes application more controlled. Special Effects - Pros: great color selection and results last a bit longer than MP colors, even on unbleached hair. I looked the same after as I did before without so much as a tint. Wouldn't recommend it!Ĭons: Literally had zero affect on my hair, even after being on for 30 minutes. Best used for accent streaks rather than all over color.īeyond the Zone Color Jamz - Pros: Another dud for me. Cons: Does not stick to unbleached hair very long. Punky Colour - Pros: Uhh.really didn't find any. I also found this stuff will sweat off down the back my neck in the summer, so dark shirts are a must for at least the first week of color. I find that Manic Panic seems to stick all over you after you get out of the shower you're covered in a thin film of red that you don't really notice until you touch your keyboard and leave red fingerprints, or realize your shirt collars are getting tinted. If you shampoo 3+ times a week, fading will begin within 5 days. This color is also vegan friendly, if that concerns you.Ĭons: Best results achieved if you leave it on at least 40 minutes, which is not terrible but it does take commitment. Fuchsia Shock, Vampire Red, Pillarbox Red, Hot Hot Pink, Infra red, and Cleo Rose all work well on unbleached hair. Manic Panic -Pros: great color selection, affordable at about $10 per tub. I encourage you to read reviews of any hair color online before buying something. Weigh the experiences as they apply to your hair type and hair goals. The Big Dye Breakdown: Here are the pros and cons of the vibrant red/ pink dyes I've tried. You can still do your coloring at home if you find salon color cost prohibitive. You'll also avoid coming out with a deep yellow orange base that may influence your end color result. A professional will be able to offer you products that are less damaging to your hair and will know the proper timing for the lift you need. If you choose to bleach more than just highlight streaks, I highly recommend going to a salon. The brands and techniques I'll be focusing on work well on untreated blonde to medium brown hair, though they will certainly apply to bleached tresses as well. But, if you tend to push your appointments as much as possible, intermittent glosses will allow you to still see red.I never bleach my hair because I'm terrified it will fry and fall off. How often should you go to the salon for touch-ups? Both Friedman and Bodt agree that four to eight weeks is the magic timeframe. “These will build up, get dark, and look dull.” And who wants that? Bodt says your colorist can craft a custom conditioner for you, or she recommends Pureology Reviving Red Enhancers in either Reviving Red or Copper. But she warns against using at-home glosses, or boxed color. And invest in a shower filter, like the one from T3, to combat mineral buildup.ĭo you recommend any at-home color-depositing treatments? “Yes! Use the Davines Red and Copper Alchemic Conditioners,” says Friedman. “If you use blow-dryers and heating tools often, use a heat protector like Redken Argan Oil or Pureology Colour Fanatic 21 Benefits Spray,” says Bodt. I also recommend the Shu Uemura Color Lustre shampoo and mask, Sally Hershberger 24K shampoo, and any cleansing cream.”Īlso, remember that mineral buildup and heating tools are fade offenders. Friedman's color savers? “Add a cap of apple cider vinegar to one gallon of cool water, and rinse your hair with it. These help to clean hair without stripping tone and luster,” says Bodt. Then, for between shampoos, I make sure clients have a great cleansing conditioner like Wen or Pureology Hydrate Cleansing Conditioner. What products should you use for maintenance? “I send every redhead home with Pureology Reviving Red shampoo and conditioner it’s great because it is sulfate-free and vegan. “I start with a single process, then a gloss, and then I finish with a cool rinse to close the cuticle.” What should you do to get the longest staying power?“I always layer the color,” says Friedman.
